git-annex-assistant - daemon to add files and automatically sync changes
Contents
Description
Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its subdirectories, and automatically syncs
them to other remotes. This includes adding new files. New files published to remotes by others are also
automatically downloaded.
By default, all new files in the directory will be added to the repository. (Including dotfiles.) To
block some files from being added, use .gitignore files.
By default, all files that are added are added to the annex, the same as when you run gitannexadd. If
you configure annex.largefiles, files that it does not match will instead be added with gitadd.
Name
git-annex-assistant - daemon to add files and automatically sync changes
Options
--autostart
Automatically starts the assistant running in each repository listed in the file ~/.config/git-annex/autostart
This is typically started at boot, or when you log in.
--startdelay=N
Wait N seconds before running the startup scan. This process can be expensive and you may not want
to run it immediately upon login.
When --autostart is used, defaults to --startdelay=5.
--foreground
Avoid forking to the background.
--stop Stop a running daemon in the current repository.
--autostop
The complement to --autostart; stops all running daemons in the repositories listed in the
autostart file.
Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
